Which group of people in France had to donate 20% of their produce to the church known as tithe?

A.the nobles

B.the peasants

C.The First Estate

D.The Second Estate

Because this group was 80 percent of France's population. This group paid half of their income to the nobles, tithes to the Church, and taxes to the king's agents.

Answer 2

Answer: the answer is D the second estate

Explanation: i would say “the second estate”. just because somebody was a noble, that didn’t necessarily mean that he would inherit the family land. the second son often joined the clergy while the first son usually inherited the estate.
